Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Miggleton (ranked 1841 p4p, 3633 weight class) and Havardr Vollan (ranked 256 p4p, 476 weight class). Miggleton's entrance music is No Lives Matter (Tom MacDonald). A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Havardr Vollan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
